My Hero Academia Inspired Pocket-Friend Aizawa Shouta | Eraserhead fidget

Pocket-Friend fidgets give you company during your stressful days, (and your good ones too) helping to get you through them and Aizawa Shouta | Eraserhead is just who any My Hero Academia Fan needs when it comes to being comforted because they help anyone in need!

It’s what heroes do, don’cha know.

Tucked neatly into his sleeping bag, tiny zipper up the front, a glimpse of his iconic capture weapon under his chin, he may be small but his comfort factor is mighty indeed.

Over an hour of sanding with ever finer grit to get Aizawa to a satiny smoothness, then a mineral oil rub and extra buffing gives added richness to both how they look, and feel.

Aiding in finger mobility as well as proven to help calm and relax, fidgets really are for everyone!

The world has enough plastic in it, and I love spinners, and could find NOTHING natural when I wanted to treat myself to one so I invented these, a fidget that does nothing but good in the world.

The wood I carved this one from is most likely Chestnut, locally grown and cut sometime in the mid to late 1800s.  

Currently we are renovating an ancient property in the mountains of Portugal which is the source of the wood I'm using for making fidgets and fidget spinners. The wood is from the kitchen loft and as the house is old enough to still have an open hearth in the kitchen and Roman pottery sherds in the floor, this place (and the wood in it) has been around for awhile.

As the wood is so old, it has buckets of character in the form of deeply embedded smoke, knots, beetle holes and places I've pulled ancient nails (most of them hand forged) free, each and every fidget is a unique and beautiful work of art, taking as long to sand to satiny smoothness as they do to carve.
